Question

When describing a book's theme, what should I do to get it started right?

Community Answer

Write a thesis starting with a T.A.G (title, author, genre). To describe a book's theme you definitely want to involve specific details from the book (quotes etc.) that represent the theme. Then, explain the quote. Answer the question, "How does that relate to the theme?".
